Dear all,<BR>
<BR>
I am testing an upgrade from bind8 to bind9.<BR>
For this, I have installed bind9 in a server with the same configuration files as present in the server running bind8.<BR>
When I start bind9, I have the following errors and the server do not start.<BR>
<BR>
Can you anyone answer the questions presnet in the log here aboive to help me with my migration?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance,<BR>
<BR>
Hugo,<BR>
